The final 100 may have been chosen, but there's really only one guy writting that, and he's guessing. I've had some back and forth with him about why he feels like he needs to say that over and over with no info, but that's a different topic.
Part of the reason for doing this contest is to get the developer community excited about it, so I'd assume they would at least make the reviewers look at all the apps. We'll see. Somebody pointed out that the FAQ says "Week of May 5", so in theory there's a little over a week left. Seems like a pretty short time, though.
